What type batteries does this use and can you use rechargeable batteries ?

I use AA Duracell Ultra. I have no idea if they will accept rechargeable. BTW, I will soon order another transmitter because they have worked so well

It takes AA batteries and I don't think that you can use rechargeable but I'm not sure. Our batteries have lasted a long time so I don't think you will have a problem.

The best batteries to be used are lithium ion as they can function in near sub zero temperatures. The problem with re-charables at present is most are 1.2, not 1.5Volts-the unit requires SIX, 1.5 Volt-total 9 volts. It is possible to jury rig-either a 9volt battery OR rechargeable system (e.g. solar) recharger next to the batteries, but Dakota Alert told me that is being though of, but no plans yet to market. Best suggestion- use lithium ion for long length of use and capacity ot handle temperature extremes. Plan out a replacement schedule once to twice a year. Of course, you could have a similar unit on the property and try out rechargables and compare them for length of time and temperature resilence-to determine whether rechargables meet your needs.

From the manual: Six AA Batteries. Alkaline recommended. Average life 6 months. Nothing mentioned for rechargeable. We are very happy with the unit. Excellent response from seller when we had questions. Antique couple

The receiver (Inside unit) runs only on house current. The transmitter (Outside unit) uses six AA batteries. I would not recommend rechargeables. The manual recommends high quality alkaline batteries. You don't want to be going out to change the batteries on this every few months. I use the high quality ones and they last more than six months.

NO. Only use AA batteries. Do not use rechargeable because they do not hold on the right charge for long. I did install a female power jack. This way I could use an adjustable volt, 1.5v to 12v, DC wall power supply. I hope this helps. Have fun with it. RobS...

You have to put in your own batteries. You can use either alkaline or rechargeable.

You can use any brand of rechargeable batteries, otherwise if you use it much you will be wasting a lot of money on throw away batteries.

It uses a AA battery. I bought some rechargeable batteries and charger for it also. a battery lasts a couple months for me and I use it about 14 hrs a day

Saw somewhere it takes 6 x AAA batteries - don't know if you can use rechargeable ones.

It uses NiMH rechargeable batteries that are AAA in size, and easy to replace. However if you're asking whether you can use normal (non-rechargeable) AAA batteries, the answer is "don't try it". Even if it works, you'll be burning through a pair of disposable batteries every week; very expensive and very bad for the environment.

No, it uses a one of those rectangular shaped 9V batteries. I guess you could buy a rechargable battery of that type if you prefer.

It uses 2 AA batteries. You could certainly use after-market rechargable AA batteries.

Hi Susan. I dont think there are rechargable batteries of the type this rangefinder uses.

You can use either alkaline AA batteries or rechargeable AA batteries. I prefer the rechargeable and always keep a couple of spare ones with me.

It uses AA batteries. I have used both regular AA batteries and the rechargeable AA batteries. The rechargeable AA work very well with this camera. However, it is a good idea to either pull the batteries or flip one around the wrong way when not in use or I have found it will run the battery down just sitting there. Hope this helps!

I use regular replaceable batteries and it has a little button you push to check them. But I don't see why you cant use rechargeable.

You can use rechargeable batteries, BUT ONLY if they are ALKALINE Batteries. This is what I was told, so best to do what they say. Good Luck!!!!!

It uses AAA batteries. Just buy extra recharagable ones and a charger at Walmart and you always have extra. You can also buy them on Amazon.

Plugs in and takes batteries. I guess you could use rechargeable batteries, but unit will not charge them.
